LoNpoS, March ll.-A sensation has
been caused by the publication of General
Sir Redvers Buffers evidence before
the Land Commission. 1t appears that
General Butler testified that what law
there was in Counties Kerry, Clare and
Cork was on the side Of the rich, and he ex'
pressed the opinion that il would be seri'
Gus matter, with their grievances unre-
dressed, to attempt to suppress by force
the tenants right to openly associate Tor
the protection of their interests. A ma
jority of the tenants, he SAID, struggled
TO pay their rents, and, where they
could, did pay; but in great many cases
the rents were too high and such as the
tenants could not pay. He said there
would never be peace in Ireland until there
had been established a court having strong
coercive powers over bad landlords and
protective powers over poor tenants.
The Pal MAI Gazette declares that the
facts attested by General Butler come like
flash Of vivid lightning, revealing the
naked horrors of organized injustice in
Ireland 1t says; "No crime which the
moonlighters or dynamiters can commit
will be comparable to the criminality Of
giving anoth II days grace to the foul fab
ric of legali2ed wrong erected on Irish
sofia fabric which the Tories now seek
TO buttress by further misdeeds.'

A Woman'S Nerve.

The Albuquerque On. M Citizen
records the courage and presence of
mind of a lady of that place. While
in her garden picking berries she felt
something bite her on the neck just
below the ear. She quickly put her
hand to the place when a centipede
curled itself around her forefnser.
She Immediately brushed it off with
her other hand, and, strange to relate,
did not faint or scream, but ran int
the house, and finding the ammoni
bottle empty. took big knife and
stuck the blade into the fire in the
stove until it got hot, when she ap-
piled it to the wound. Next she took
some soda and applied that, fastening
it by wrapping cloth around gan
neck. BY this time her neck be 40
to swell, and she says she felt ouG
though the top of her head was alb
to secede, and closed her teeth tightly
to make sure that her head was not
gone. In short time she felt reliev-
ed, and then informed her daughter
She did not even call for a doctor,
hut she has procured another supply

Agricultural.

The corn that will keep best for
seed is that which has cured well on
the stalk and been hung in a dry
place.
Where the dry weather has ipjur.
ed the pastures keep the sheep off, as
they Craze very close. the effect Of
which would be felt by the pasture
crop next season.
The turkeys should be given full
range now, as there are no crops
they can harm. They will find
large portion of their food, and a
large flock can be raised at a very
small cost if given plenty of room.
After gathering the nuts, in week
or ten days after, pick them over, u.s.
ing only the sound ones, and destroy
all wormy one by burning them. as
the destruction of the nuts will be
the means of destroying insects that
may do damage another season.
If the steers be poor and refuse to
eat, or do not thrive, look for lice.
If lice be present sponge them with
solution of insect powder, and give
each steer half pint of linseed meal
daily in the food Many of the ills
of cattle may be attributed to lice.
"A Kentucky farmer recommends
that the best way to kill out willows
is to peel them three or feet feet from
the ground down to the earth, sever
ing the bark from the tree, which
should be done the latter part Of
spring, leaving the trees to stand,
which die and make excellent stove
wood.
A correspondent of the Farmers
ReUieao thus gives method for keep
ing cabbage: "Take firm heads, cut
off the corner leaves and the stem to
about one inch of the head, then wrap
two thickDesses of paper snugly
around the heads and hang them in
cool well-ventilated cellar. Only
few leaves near the paper will become
dry. Put them away in the fall
before the snow comes"

A GrOwl at the Postal Card.

The postal card is device concoct-
ed by very small men to save a
few cents Of postage per annum at
the expense of hundreds of dollars
lost through uubusiness-like methods.
1t is the instrument of the coward
and the refuge of dead-beats Good
men use it while they despise it. and
mean men naturally take to it and
perpetuate it. For two cents any
ordinary business matter, intelligent
ly elaborated and concealed. from the
impertinent gaze of post-oficials and
Office subordinates, can be carried
from one side of the continent to the
other; yet to save one small copper
cent, alleged business men continue
to write cramped and unintelligable
messages on postal cards that either
contains requests for which, in all
good conscience, a postal stamp
should be enclosed, or are so unsatis-
factory or unilable that they newt
ably find their way to that convenient
receptacle of all nuisances, the office
waste basket.
A, B. & Co. advertise a speciality
in trade paper. The next mail that
sweeps from the north, east, south or
west brings them food of postal
cards, asking prices, discounts, etc.
Not a word or indication on the pos
tai card as to the business standing &
of the inquirer. Not postage stamp
attached or enclosed for a reply No
room for q courteous or business.like
request. Simply dirty little postal
card and thoughtless or impertinent
demand.
The postal card in business is q
tattling interloper. 1t is travelling
nuisance, 1t has seedy and sneak
ing appearance. 1t has the look of
the man that asks the loan of ten
cents until tomorrow. Its breath is
